Money Diary 1st week of August

I swear I am the queen on not writing things down when I am at work. Even though I can’t say work is always super busy — though it is sporadic and perhaps that is why I feel unable to focus there. So if it seems short.. well, thanks to mint I’m just writing down what I purchased. Again, this is just so I can practice being my aware of the miscellaneous things I buy. 

Nonetheless, it’s all about practicing it and enjoying the process.

Eyebrow threading: $15 (PS: found out she’s increasing her prices to be $15, not including tip). 

Went to H-Mart ($38.90) after Woomiok ($55.46) for korean food with Eric for our weekly date night away from the pupster. 

Total: $94.36

NO PURCHASES MADE TODAY!

The best thing about working is that I am distracted (so no random/sporadic online shopping) and I make some dough at the same time.

Sunday 08/04/2019

Was at work today in NC. It was alright. 

There were some purchases I made (albertsons and exxon) that were not billed until today. We will disregard those. 

I did get automatically charged for Bark Box for the puppy’s newest toys. He will be so spoiled! I swear. 

Total: $31.25 

5:45pm – I finally tried out for Core Power Yoga. It was a totally great sweat session. Love the way I feel after a great hot yoga class. I’m not sure if I’ll continue to try this or if I should go for ClassPass instead. $FREE / 1 week

Monday 08/05/2019

I was at RSD again today, so of course I ended up still going to Albertsons. $6.10

I also paid for my insurance, $189 (but I will be reimbursed $183 for it, which I won’t complain over the $6). There was a credit fee I did not account for. 

total: $12.10

TUESDAY 8/6/2019

1:00pm gas from Shell, 5 gals. $19.31

1:05pm Jamba Juice, greens and ginger $5.29 

Automatically got charged for $0.99 from iTunes because my grandpa caved and pressed yes for the cloud purchase. 

Total: $25.59

WEDNESDAY 08/07/2019

6:50am – Rushed out the door to make it to OTF this morning. It was a very whatever type of session today, mostly because it involved so much rowing and maybe 1.5minutes on the tread at most. I left a little early so I could get home and be prepared for the ATT person to come by. 

3:30pm – Just finished a FaceTime session with Th. It was nice to catch up. 

3:45pm – Finally made the purchase for L’s baby shower. Got her a binky set, car seat cover, Elephant hooded towel, summer infant complete nursery set, and some bath bombs that are just for her. I’m not going to lie, it was mildly painful pulling the trigger on this purchase, however she was a wonderful friend and confidant to me during my time in Cleveland. $97.41

5:00pm – I caved and purchased the hardcover book called Dare to Lead by Brene Brown for the monthly bookclub. It’s because the soft cover (just $1.50 less) would’ve come on 8/20… versus the hardcover would’ve been by this friday (2 days). $16.56

7:30pm – Korean BBQ night with A and M. $67.67

9:00pm – For getting food at Taegukgi we got 20% off a drink from the boba place next door called The Korean Rose. The drink was alright, but I totally should’ve asked for half sugar. I usually do, but in this case I forgot. $4.53

Total: $187.17

THURSDAY 08/08/2019

Today’s the day where I’m supposed to go purchase the plane ticket to NYC. Gotta make sure it coordinates with T’s plans. 

**Shoots!! I totally forgot to make the purchase** And now it’s friday and I don’t think the prices will be too great — so I’m going to wait for a moment and check it another time. 

12:45pm – I worked at UO yesterday and decided to stop by PM and she was working today. I got a chance to meet her and she offered to have the first pastry on the house, so I bought some cookies instead and took a free pastry. YUMS! It was a soft, crispy edged, buttery chocolate chip roll. So delicious! $10.00

Total: $10.00

TOTAL FOR THE WEEK: $360.47
